A slew of vendors this week will take the stage at NetWorld+Interop 2002 Las Vegas to highlight new products and services aimed at making networks safer. Vendors are looking to simplify this important task by processing multiple security applications on a single device, as is the case with start-up FortiNet. Others, such as Rainbow Technologies and Neoteris, will take advantage of ubiquitous Secure Sockets Layer technology to make Web access more secure and easier to set up. And still others, such as VeriSign, will offer services that let businesses turn over the burden of maintaining network integrity to someone else.

For its part, FortiNet is introducing six models of its FortiGate security-processing gear that bundles firewall, VPN, virus scanning and other security functions. The platform is based on FortiNet security chips called FortiASIC, which scan for virus signatures, accelerate cryptography, process packets for firewall filtering and manage approved traffic flows.
